Fulham midfielder Pajtim Kasami has predicted that new signing Darren Bent will have a positive impact on the team this season.

Bent, who is on a season-long loan from Aston Villa, came off the bench to score on his Cottagers debut as they lost 3-1 to Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.

"We're a very strong team and then up front you of course have Darren Bent and everyone knows what he is capable of – he's a well known striker and we all know how good he is and I think he will help us a lot this season," Kasami told the club's official website.

Fulham return to action on Tuesday when they travel to Burton Albion in round two of the Capital One Cup.
